Complaint filed with DOJ claims OSU violating Title IX, inflating women’s athletic rosters University aware of complaint, ready to respond if case opens

By LAUREN SLUSS Editor-in-Chief A complaint filed this month with the U.S. Department of Justice alleges Oregon State University is violating Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 by inflating women’s athletic team rosters and under-reporting men’s actual athletic participation in order to comply with the anti-discrimination law.

This administrative and criminal complaint was filed with the U.S. Department of Education and the DOJ on May 9 by Mark Rossmiller, a Title IX advocate with the Women’s National Law Center. Rossmiller also filed a similar complaint against the University of Washington the same day.

The complaint states OSU is in violation of Title IX due to “knowingly and willfully having falsified, concealed, and covered up materials by fabricating EADA (Equity in Athletics Data Analysis) athletic participation numbers.”

“The institution (OSU) has overstated its track and field, counted male participants as female athletes on Women’s Basketball and Soccer teams,” the complaint states.

When asked about the complaint, OSU Title IX Coordinator Kim Kirkland deferred to Steve Clark, vice president of University Relations and Marketing, for any questions regarding Title IX. “We are aware of this complaint, which was only brought to our attention when the complainant sent an email to me containing an attachment related to OSU and another related to a university in another state (WSU),” Clark said.

“We take any Title XI concerns seriously,” Clark added. “As a result of receiving this complaint, we are looking into the allegations.”

As of now, the Department of Justice has not opened an investigation. However, OSU is prepared to respond if it does, Clark said.

“As for this complaint, we have not heard from any agencies regarding this,” Clark said.

“We will cooperate with the Department of Justice and the Office of Civil Rights, if they open an investigation.”

The Complaint

Rossmiller’s complaint claims OSU does not meet the legal requirements of Title IX. Title IX was one of the first major legal steps to eliminate sex discrimination from schools. The act prohibits sex discrimination in any educational institution or program that receives federal funding. This act extends to all functions of an educational institution which receives federal funding.

If educational institutions do not comply with Title IX, they could face consequences such as withdrawal of federal funding or paying damages.

In order to comply with Title IX’s athletics qualifications, an institution needs to pass a three-prong test which was established by the Supreme Court through Cohen v.

Brown University in 1993. An institution must show that it is complying with at least one of the three prongs in order to meet the requirements of Title IX. Contact sports, such as rugby, football and wrestling, are exempt from Title IX requirements.

The first prong requires that the sport opportunities provided for students are substantial and statistically proportional to the sex demographics of the school’s population.

In the complaint, Rossmiller asserts OSU does not pass this first test because the

STEVE CLARK Vice President of University Relations and Marketing

number of collegiate athletic opportunities for women is fewer than the number of women attending OSU, therefore is not statistically proportional.

“The 2015-16 participation gap (the difference between the percentage of women enrolled and the percentage of athletes who are women) of the college was 5.3 percentage points,” the complaint states.

This participation gap is due to a false inflation of women’s athletic participants and a false inclusion of male practice players into the total number, according to the claim.

“Women’s track is overstated by approximately 68 members, and 16 male practice players counted as women collegiate athletes,” Rossmiller said via email. “Removing those 84 fictitious participants, OSU should not be showing a surplus of 30 female athletes, but rather the true hidden disparity.”

Rossmiller claims OSU’s true athletic rosters consists of 294 male athletes vs 208 female athletes, or 58.5 percent male vs 41.4 female participation for the

2016-17 academic year.

If true, this would be in violation of Title IX because the rosters are not proportional to the overall student body. As of fall 2016, the OSU student population consisted of 53.3 percent male and 46.7 percent female. These numbers slightly varied at the end of the academic year, with 53.1 percent male and 46.9 percent female reported spring term 2017, according to the OSU enrollment summary.

“OSU’s non-compliance is ongoing and being covered-up,” Rossmiller said via email. “Oregon State University needs to stop breaking federal law and screwing the majority of its student body that are women.”

Several universities across the country have or are counting male practice players as female participants on official roster data.

Male practice players are listed in OSU’s Equity in Athletics Data analysis: nine players on the women’s basketball team, nine male practice players on the women’s soccer team and seven male practice players for track. However, Rossmiller states these numbers were included in the total number in female participants in order to inflate the number.

OSU received 159 Title IX reports in the 2016-17 academic year, however none were athletic participation disparity related, according to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access annual 2016-17 report.

History of Title IX complaints

Rossmiller has filed thousands of Title IX complaints against educational institutions in the U.S., according to a Seattle Times Article in August 2017.

One of Rossmiller’s complaints was filed against the University of Washington, alleging the institution claimed women were participants on the crew team although some of them never practiced or competed.

This complaint led UW to change its method of counting female participation in its rowing team in order to comply with Title IX. Rossmiller also filed a complaint in 2014 with the U.S. Department of Justice alleging around 120 California educational institutions were failing to provide adequate opportunities for female athletic participation.

Benton County jailhouse fosters uncertainty, inconsistency

By GENESIS HANSEN News Contributor In December, Christopher Becker robbed a man at an ATM in Lincoln City. Becker was placed in Benton County jail on Jan. 4. Forcibly released just 11 days later due to overcrowding, Becker then robbed the Central Willamette Credit Union on Jan. 22.

Some believe there is a national systemic issue with prisons and jail houses being simultaneously overflowing and underfunded.

According to Diana Rabago, division captain for the Benton County Jail, there are not enough beds, programs or resources to meet the needs of inmates. The Benton County Jail has been exhausted and is inadequate for the legal system and citizens it serves, according to Rabago.

Brett Burkhardt has been an associate professor of sociology at Oregon State University since 2011 and teaches classes related to criminal justice.

“It’s expensive to imprison that many people, and states and taxpayers don’t want to pay for it,” Burkhardt said. “When we put people into prison it doesn’t seem to be leading

The current inmate population began ballooning in the late 1980s, putting America at the top of the global charts. With about 2.1

million offenders in the prison system, America

beats China by about half a million, according to World Prison Brief.

According to Burkhardt, states are responsible for 90 percent of the country’s prison population, so they can tackle this issue in two ways. The first method requires addressing the problem head on and calls for changing the kind of crimes that require a prison sentence, reducing the length of time served or providing treatment. The second method requires the state to release inmates from custody and place them on parole or a supervised consequence plan.

“Overcrowding is a function of two things really. It’s a function of the prison population and then the number of prisons,” Burkhardt said. “So where you’re likely to get prison crowding is those states that have high imprisonment rates, but don’t want to spend the money for a new prison.”

An overflowing prison system leaks into other crevices in the legal system, specifically the jails.

Project plans were begun for a regional jail were to be put up somewhere alongside Interstate Highway 5. According to Rabago

INCARCERATION, Continued from page 4 the project was to take 10 years, so a temporary jail was built to hold inmates in the meantime.

The project flopped, leaving only the jail used today.

A voter-approved levy provided funding to house an additional 27 - 40 inmates at a facility called Northern Oregon Regional Correctional (NORCOR) in Wasco County. However, the outdated jail fails to provide reasonable housing for the inmate population in Benton County, according to Rabago.

“We consistently have plumbing and

electrical issues. We have high and low voltage wires running together, we aren’t up to code when it comes to fire suppression, we don’t even have a sprinkler system. There’s nearly nothing about this building that is safe in my opinion,” Rabago said.

The temporary jail was built in November of 1976 to handle the capacity of 27 inmates, which was later reconfigured to house 40 beds. Some think time and use has worn this building down and accountability in the legal system is suffering because of it.

For the past five years, Sheriff Scott Jackson has been serving Benton County. He states that it’s a difficult time to be in law enforcement in this country today and struggles with earning the trust in areas in the community.

“We don’t even have the space to run programs like they have at NORCOR. Parenting classes, GED programs, mental health assistance or job searching support.

The research shows that having programs like those opens the options for inmates and gives them confidence to what they can do,” Jackson said.

Often, the jail fills quickly, forcing it to actually shut down and turn away inmates, so alternative punishments are utilized.

“A lot of inmates know the situation here and know that they aren’t going to be held accountable, that we are gonna end up kicking them out. So there isn’t a bite to anything in this community when it comes to jail,” Rabago said.

Early release is common at the jail and inmates must be moved to make more space for newer offenders. Rabago stated there has been an increase in crime rates and in released inmates, with 288 just this past year.

“There has been a rise in violent personto-person crime and we can’t house these

inmates like judges see fit. So we are forced to send them away, release them and give them citations instead. It takes the carrot away from the end of the stick, so for a lot of people there are no consequences for breaking the law,” Jackson said.

As seen in Becker’s case, this wave of releases increases criminal behavior in Benton County.

Released offenders may endanger victims and deplete the jail’s already scarce resources.

“The lawyers want to have their clients

sent to NORCOR so they have access to their programs, while the offenders want to stay in Benton County because they know they’ll be released soon,” Jackson said.

To determine which inmates to keep, release and transport, a matrix system has been put in place to analyze the individual’s criminal history, current charges, employment

If they score six or less on this matrix they are released and if they score seven or higher, additional arrangements are made to house them, Rabago said.

Rabago said citizens need to be educated on the workings of the jailhouse in order to understand the real care, planning and funding needed to professionally run the facility.

“There’s a lot of folks that don’t understand what a jail is. How it operates and what you’re actually responsible for by law. You really have to look at it like you’re operating a little city,” Rabago said.

The Criminal Justice System Association held a meeting at the Historical Museum in Philomath on May 31 to update the public on CGL’s progress on the analysis of the system.

The firm plans and designs new systems for national correctional facilities and will conduct the assessment.

Commissioner Xan Augerot has been cultivating a plan to bring to life the plans for a regional jail. A resident for the past 25 years, Augerot’s goal with Benton County is to maintain the communities vibrance while operating on an inclusive scale.

GRAP HIC BY MARCUS TRI NI D AD Most offenders staying at Benton County Jail in 2017 resided in the jail for only one day, either due to lack of space or having committed a crime that did not warrant a longer holding time.

Although Augerot said she tends to lean left, she asks the question “who else has needs?” and decides to take a stand rather than a side.

With about half the entire budget dedicated to the sheriff’s operations, Augerot’s team

decides carefully when investing in operations.

The Sacramento based firm, CGL, has been chosen to analyze and critique the operations of the Benton County circuit jail system.

Projecting a release in August or September,

the consultants will provide three cost-saving opportunities for the jail and legal system through project management.

“The primary purpose of the criminal justice system assessment is to provide a vision for a trusted and accessible system of justice that provides a high degree of safety and confidence,” Benton County said on a flyer from the Assessment meeting on May 31.

In this meeting, the committee put on a presentation providing data, community feedback and comparing the Benton County system to other counties in Oregon like Yamhill, Linn and Lane. This assessment will project a solution that will supposedly support the county for up to 30 years.

CGL and Benton county are looking at 11 areas of the system, including behavioral health and diversion services. They are currently in the second phase of a four-phased plan to develop a full report on the criminal justice system, which will then be presented to the community in a briefing.

The group is focused on transparency and community engagement, and is planning three break down sessions to dive into the different areas that the community is most concerned about, like treatment for offenders, the cost to the taxpayer and where the system could be improved.

Jackson encourages people to attend tours of the jail and enroll in the Citizen’s Academy to learn about the facility and how the county criminal system works.

“We have good funding, but there is just a lack of space. Anyone that wants a tour can call and come by,” Jackson said.

Nutritional wellness challenges students Barriers include lack of information, skills to cook, prepare food

By BROCK HULSE News Contributor Setting good habits while being a young adult at Oregon State is important in order to ensure wellness and success throughout the remainder of one’s life. Students may practice good habits for nutritional, physical, mental and sustainable wellness.

Determining and then implementing the right things in order to achieve nutritional wellness can be very challenging for a young adult who is now living on their own according to Emily Ho, the director of the Moore Family Center for Whole Grain Foods, Nutrition and Preventive Health at OSU. “A lot of students that I see are just not equipped to take care of themselves,” Ho said. “They haven’t gone to a school where they’ve had the classic home ec. programs where they learn how to prepare meals, how to shop for healthy foods, how to store and budget.”

This lack of knowledge regarding how to properly prepare, shop for, store and budget nutritional food can become even more difficult when combined with the ability to access a large amount of information about food and nutrition Ho said.

“It’s hard for the average person to be able to sift through the fads versus the right information,” Ho said. “I don’t know of many other fields where you can say you’re a nutrition expert without having any background. You can have a blog and claim you’re a nutrition expert and people will listen to you.”

In order to ensure that someone is finding the right information it is important for them to know what a good resource is, Ho said. If people are getting most of their information from websites or blogs, looking at the credentials of the individuals and determining whether or not the things that they are reporting are evidence based is a good way to ensure that you are getting the proper information Ho said.

Evidence based means evidence that is based on previous research that has shown success rather than anecdotal testimony.

Ho said that there are resources online that students can look at for healthy recipes that are run by different organizations within the university like University Housing and Dining Services or the Moore Family Center, with Ho commonly pointing students to websites like foodhero.org.

Ho also said that while there is evidence that a plant-based diet has many health benefits, it is not necessary to practice an entirely plant-based lifestyle.

“It means that a majority of your food should come from plants, but it doesn’t mean that to be healthy you have to be vegetarian or vegan,” Ho said. “If you choose to be that, that’s fine.

That is a relatively healthy lifestyle, but it’s not necessary to be healthy.”

Ho said making sure that people eat fruits

and vegetables is more important than following a specific type of diet if an individual doesn’t have specific dietary needs.

“If you choose to do organic that’s more of a value choice,” Ho said.

“I would much rather the whole population E MILY HO | just eat more fruits and E N DOWE D vegetables rather than DIRE CTOR worry whether or not OF MOORE they’re organic or not.”

One of Sanders responsibilities is working with UHDS’s executive Chef in order to set nutrition menu parameters for the culinary team to follow when developing menus.

One of these nutritional menu parameters is making sure UHDS is committed to Menus of Change, an initiative run by the Culinary Institute of American and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. This implements principles such as increasing whole grains and increasing plant-based options to advance healthy and sustainable menus.

The task force is charged with developing a framework that encapsulates OSU’s many resources supporting areas of well-being such as spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, social, environmental and financial wellness Sanders said via email.

Matt Robinson, an assistant professor of kinesiology at OSU said via email that using these many resources offered by the university in order to form healthy habits is a important thing to do.

“Habits can be hard to break and it is good to set daily habits that can be maintained and

sustained,” Robinson said via email. “Our bodies can gradually adapt to the demands that we place on them...These changes are gradual and we may not notice on a day-to-day level.”

These gradual changes can become large and difficult to overcome, and over several years it can become difficult to change habits in order to reverse the detriments, Robinson said via email.

“We need to further recognize that exercise does not need to include the gym but a generally active lifestyle with less sitting time,” Robinson said via email. “The health benefits go beyond many classic considerations but include benefits on protection against morbidity, improvements on cognition, immune system and greater flexibility.”

App Development Club unifies students and ideas From bus routes to gaming, the group covers it all

By KENDALL JORDAN Practicum Contributor If you’ve ever said “there ought to be an app for that” and wanted to know how it could be developed, a club at Oregon State University is waiting to meet you.

OSU’s App Development Club is where students come together to discuss, analyze and create apps for iOS, Android, web and just about any other conceivable platform. It has been operating since 2013, but club leaders are anxious to expand their reach.

Rob Mac, a junior majoring in computer science and psychology as well as the club’s vice president, said the group is dedicated to creating a light-hearted atmosphere for geeking out with students interested in all phases of developing apps.

While many club members are studying computer science and related majors, all students are welcome and no experience is necessary, just interest.

Club President Connor Christensen, a senior studying computer science, says the club does not travel to competitions, but for those who love apps or related technology, there can be no better place to hang out.

“The main goal for the club in the past was to be a workshop space,” Christensen said. “Since I have been president it’s been my personal mission to be a form of support that I wish I had when I started.”

Christensen said that app enthusiasts might believe they cannot develop an app and don’t have the expertise. The club is a place where they can learn from others who might have the technical ability. Club members bring many different skills to the table.

“Our last president developed the Corvallis Bus App and is now working as an engineer at Microsoft,” Christensen said.

The Bus App provides real time information on bus routes, stops and arrivals in the Corvallis area.

Christensen said that the previous president’s experience was iOS development, but the club has a wide range of knowledge on various different platforms between all of them.

“We have expanded our definition of what the app development club supports. Depending on the skills and needs of our members,” Christensen said. “Web development is a new focus for the club. We want to be inclusive regardless of the operating system.”

According to Christensen, if club leaders do not have specific skills that members need they are happy to go through the learning 10 • DAILYBAROMETER.COM • WEEK OF MONDAY, JUNE 4, 2018

process with them.

His concept of the club is that it is a collaborative makerspace.

“We alternate between showing off our own projects, asking for help and having informal presentations to share what we know,” Mac said.

Mac’s specialty is JavaScript, but he indicated that club gatherings aren’t all tech related.

“Our conversations often drift over recent events or cool new tools that were just released or just discovered,” Mac said. “Our goal is to encourage everyone to learn and practice outside of class because that’s where the practical experiences are hiding.”

Brennan Douglas, a junior physics and computer science double major, is club treasurer. He joined the club to get inspiration for his personal projects and to meet fellow students with similar interests. His favorite characteristic of the club is the open atmosphere when members discuss ideas and answer questions.

“We are a friendly and close-knit group of people,” Douglas said. “We are thrilled to accept anyone new into our circle and will speak freely with you as soon as you arrive.”

Douglas said the club’s most interesting activity is creating a game for Android devices.

“It was called Paths and it was a tilt-based game where you balance an object on a moving line for as long as you can,” Douglas said. “It has gone all the way through production, posting it to the Google play store.”

Graham Barber, sophomore, outreach coordinator and club webmaster, said the club has been a great venue for testing and sharing his project. In an application he calls Knife is a game-jam management application that is still in very early development.

“To me, app development encompasses the development of practically any software.

These days the word ‘app’ isn’t restricted to smartphones,” Barber said. “With the adaptation of new web technologies, most of the websites that we interact with are considered applications as well. App development itself is so prominent that I think all computer science students need to have an understanding that whenever you’re writing software in the real world, you’re probably doing app development.”

Anyone interested in joining the club can check out http://osuapp.club or email app-club@engr.orst.edu. The club meets at 6 p.m. in Kelley Engineering Center 1007 on Wednesdays.

Junior outfielder Steven Kwan set the pace early in the ball game by hitting a home run over the right field wall in the first inning.

Out of the nine starters who stepped up to the plate, eight Beavers were able to get a hit in the game.

In the last two games, OSU combined to defeat the Tigers 26-2 during regional play. This is the second time in two seasons Beavers will move on to the next round. The best-of-three series against Minnesota will be played at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field next weekend.

LSU had. Senior pitcher Luke Heimlich started on Saturday and got his fifteenth win of the season, striking out three.

“The defense was huge today,” Heimlich said. “It was all over the diamond all night. In the outfield and in the infield, those plays really kept picking me up when I didn’t have my best stuff.”

As for offense, the Beavers were dominant.

Sophomore catcher Adley Rutschman notched in three runs and two doubles and totaling 66 RBI for the season.

Already leading 5-0 in the fourth, the Beavers had a five-run rally in the inning. Junior

Opinion: Legalized sports betting good for NCAA revenue

By ALEX JONES Columnist

The Supreme Court made the decision to allow states to individually legalize and regulate sports betting as they please, in a 6-3 ruling.

Pro f e s s i o n a l sports teams are excited about this ruling and are expecting to double their value. However, the NCAA has been resisting the legalization of sports betting for years, in worry that it will compromise the integrity of the game.

“I don’t think there will be much of an impact early on with the NCAA sports,” sophomore, Rab Bowers said.

However, Bowes does believe as time progresses the NCAA will face some complications involving betting on college sports.

If regulated carefully, though, legal sports betting could bring a plethora of new revenue to the NCAA, schools and sports teams alike.

Prior to the ruling made on May 14, there had been a federal ban on sports betting since 1992. New Jersey has been fighting that ban since 2011.

Now, seven years later, the Supreme Court has finally decided that prohibiting states from sports betting is unconstitutional and actually violates the 10th amendment.

This amendment states that any powers not granted to the federal government, by the constitution, must be granted to the state governments.

“I agree with the Supreme Court rule because each state should have the decision to make. The people that live in the state should ultimately decide,” Bowers said.

Chris Christie, a former governor of New Jersey, originally filed the lawsuit that has been processing for the last several years. New Jersey in particular was pushing for the legalization of sports betting, while Nevada, Delaware, Montana and Oregon were states that got grandfathered in.

Even after Christie’s time in office, the state of New Jerseyhad pushed to get this law passed in order to bring new revenue to states across the country.

This ruling has created a huge wave of excitement not just for sports teams, but for sports gaming associations as well.

Especially online ones, such as Draftkings and Unikrn, who have publicly stated their approval of this ruling and how it will benefit them and the nation immensely.

“Everybody’s gambled for a long time, it’s not a new industry,” Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks owner and Unikrn Gaming cofounder, said in an interview with CNBC. Many have been gambling with sports as a part of the underground economy for a long time. However, that economy now has the opportunity to surface with regulation

and bring revenue to states.

Cuban, although excited about the Supreme Court’s ruling, is urging states to act carefully with this.

“If states are smart, they’ll work together and come up with a single solution, so that they all get tax revenue from it. They all can deal with the social element of helping gamblers anonymous and helping people not get overwhelmed by this,” Cuban said, “But if they try and do it on their own, then you’re going to see all kinds of issues and you’re going to see winners and losers in each state.”

Although it’s not a question if professional sports teams will benefit vastly from this legalization of sports betting, the NCAA is the most interesting sports league in this situation.

Now that the Supreme Court has made their final ruling, the NCAA is requesting federal regulation.

“While we recognize the critical role of state governments, strong federal standards are necessary to safeguard the integrity of college sports and the athletes who play these games at all levels,” NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a statement on the organization’s website after the

Supreme Court’s ruling.

For years now, there have been debates over whether collegiate athletes should be getting paid. If the NCAA does decide to reap the benefits of legal sports betting they would be generating tons of new revenue, along with the schools.

Although that revenue could prove to be beneficial, the NCAA is still worried that sports betting will tamper with the integrity of the games and their players.

“The wellbeing of our student athletes and the integrity of competition could be compromised. There is susceptibility to potential inducements around point shaving. Additional resources would likely need to be put in place to augment our compliance capabilities,” Oregon State University athletic director, Scott Barnes said in an article from the Oregonian.

With all of the excitement in the air surrounding the recent legality of state regulated sports betting, it will be interesting to see if the NCAA caves. If they do, college sports teams, universities and the athletes themselves could be getting rich fast.

SPORTS BASEBALL, Continued from page 11 infielder Cadyn Grenier led off with a double off the back fence running in two, while junior catcher Zak Taylor finished it off with two-run single that set the score to 10-0.

“The exchange that Rutschman made on the double play in the first inning was unbelievable,” Pat Casey, Beavers head coach, said. “That guy is a freak, athletically.”

Madrigal led off the seventh with his third home run, and first since Feb. 22 against Arizona.

It marks the fifty-fifth home run for the Beavers this season, five shy of the school record.

Casey mentioned that he would be starting freshman pitcher Kevin Abel in Sunday’s game against either LSU or Northwestern State, regardless of the pitcher for either side.

“He’s been getting better and better, and I have all the confidence in the world in him,” Casey said.

Abel has three wins and one loss with an average 4.13 ERA for the season, making four starts and 18 appearances thus far.

Northwestern State will face LSU on Sunday at noon and OSU will face the winner of that game at 6 p.m.

Heading into the Corvallis Regional, No. 3 seed Oregon State University faced Northwestern State University (37-23). It marks the first postseason game for the Beavers (45-101), and with a final score of 9-3, they performed well both on defense and on offense.

As the Demons came up to bat against the Beavers each inning, junior pitcher Bryce

Fehmel didn’t let them get too far, only allowing six hits with three runs and four strikeouts.

“Early on I was getting ahead of them for the most part. When I was able to do that, I was able to throw almost every pitch in any count, and that was able to keep them off-balance,” Fehmel said.

After some slow previous at-bats, junior infielder Nick Madrigal showed why he was the 2017 Pac-12 Player of the Year, racking up four runs in three hits for the Beavers throughout the game.

In the third inning, Madrigal’s first hit got him a two-run single with bases loaded to bring

the score to 2-0.

Later in the game with bases loaded in the sixth, Madrigal capped off a four-run rally with another two-run single, widening the lead to 8-1 for the Beavers.

As a Junior, Madrigal has a total of 205 hits throughout his career, which ranks him eighth in the nation.

Recently being named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, junior infielder Cayden Grenier made a huge play in the fifth inning, proving why he was awarded the honor.

As the ball came flying off a hit from the Demons, Grenier went deep in the hole and

threw across his body to second to Madrigal to complete a double play.

“Not too many guys in the country get to that ball and he made it look pretty easy. That’s why he’s deserving of the defensive player of the year award,” Madrigal said.

After the game, Beavers head coach Pat Casey was impressed with how his team performed.

“I thought Bryce was outstanding, got a big hit out of Nobach to get us going, Nick drove in four runs,” Casey said. “I believe offensively we need to be a little bit better but I thought we did the things we needed to do.”
